Hi, when I enable Crossfire in the CCC, the second card powers down. Then when I disable Crossfire it powers up again. Obviously its not ultilizing the second graphics card like it should. I've had this problem since I have bought these graphics cards. Which means I have always had this problem. I looked to see and tested if I had the bridge on the wrong connector but I thats not the problem.

I know it can't obviously be my system hardware componets so I was figuring it was a problem with CCC. Has anyone had this trouble as well?

No I didn't know that. Is there anyway to disable that power saving feature? That seems awfully stupid. If I wanted the power of two cards I don't want minimum power, I'd want maximum power and performance.

On another note, I've never read anywhere about that power saving feature. And thats not why I bought these cards in the first place.

I never made any changes that could be causing an issue. Some how, when I downloaded the Beta 2 driver...my system corrupted it now I have to re- download it. I'll know soon if it fixed my issue or not. I hope it does, otherwise Im ditching these cards.

Edit: I removed the AMD Cards and Re-Installed my old Nvidia GTX 680's. I downloaded the driver just fine and I ran 3DMark and got a higher score than I got before with my other AMD Cards. What made me switch was the fact that AMD doesn't frequently update their drivers for their cards. Nvidia releases an update every 3-4 weeks. It makes me feel that Nvidia cares more about their cards than AMD does.

Um, AMD releases an update every 3 or 4 weeks. It's not WHQL certified, so it carries the label "beta." I would prefer it if AMD stopped this beta crap and went back to monthly WHQL releases, but they stopped because they would have to work on 3 driver releases at a time due to the WHQL certification turnaround and they would end up with some months only having very minor changes where others carries a large change log. If some big change is needed, such as a developer releasing a game full of crappy code and they refuse to fix it, then AMD will push out drivers quickly, but generally the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies. Same with nVidia cards, if a game or program you use isn't mentioned in the release notes as being improved, why do you need to use that particular driver set?

And who cares what 3DMark says, it's a bias program which nobody pays attention to anymore.
